Wheeler followed that up with a solo shot in the sixth inning. He's raised his average over a hundred points during his five-game hitting streak. The 27-year-old has been toiling in the minors for a long time, racking up almost 700 games of experience. If Wheeler keeps this up, this could be the year he finally cracks a big league roster.

Tim Wheeler went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI against the Indians on Saturday.

Wheeler was outrighted off the Rockies' 40-man roster last November, an indication of his struggles in the minors, but the 26-year-old has four home runs in Cactus League play. He's now hitting .395 in his bid to make the Rockies as a bench player. Even if he can't break camp with the club, the outfielder has put himself back on the club's radar with his showing.

Rockies sent OF Tim Wheeler outright to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Wheeler was once a top prospect, but his power has vanished since he hit 33 homers in the Texas League in 2011. The 25-year-old passed through waivers unclaimed and will stick around as organizational depth. Wed, Nov 27, 2013 03:30:00 PM

Rockies purchased the contract of OF Tim Wheeler from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Wheeler's power disappeared in 2012 after surgery to remove the hamate bone from his right hand, as he hit just two homers in 379 at-bats following a 33-homer outburst in 2011. He's now on the 40-man roster and will try to get back on track in 2013. Tue, Nov 20, 2012 08:00:00 PM

He did not catch the ball in his glove, though, in order to protect his sprained thumb and small wrist fracture. In other words, LeMahieu is just keeping his arm in shape and is at the very beginning of his rehab.

Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) struck out eight batters over five hitless innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Hoffman did walk three batters and yield one earned run. The 25-year-old right-hander was placed on the disabled list at the end of spring training due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. He should be an option for the Rockies' starting rotation at some point this month.

Rosscup has been out all season with a left middle finger injury and now won't be eligible to return until the end of May. This move cleared a 40-man roster spot for infielder Daniel Castro, who has been promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque.
